For keeping the story of Amanda on the front page.I am absolutely thrilled that the AzNA bothered to comment about this issue.
Keep it up. We're all waiting to see where it goes.
It just makes me wonder what will happen if and when the rights of nurses are fully recognized and acknowledged. So many possibilities...and maybe that panacea of practicing to the "fullest extent of our licenses" will actually be true and respected among ALL our colleagues.
Stay tuned.

Amen!
Finally, the ANA has a decent post about the Amanda Trujillo situation in Arizona. There's a great thread on Facebook in the American Nurses Association area for more information.
If we don't support our own (i.e. other nurses), who will?
Stay tuned!

The saga continues
Kim's keeping the Amanda Trujillo story out front on emergiblog.
So while I'm not writing a bunch, it's not because I don't care. I do. I know but for a slight change of circumstances that could be me or any other nurse I know, here in RehabLand, or anywhere throughout the country, and it scares me. I'm not the most religious character, but I will be talking to my praying friends to get them to pray for Amanda, and for the Amandas to come.
The people who need protection--the patients--are being sacrificed. For what? The almighty dollar.
Friends, it is true: if you want peace, work for justice. Let's hope there will be justice for Amanda and for those patients out there, now and to come.

Still reeling...
The specialist I've been waiting to see for nearly two months cancelled my appointment. I'm feeling better now, but I'm still nervous about what might be going on. Waiting sucks.
However, I don't think I was more unnerved than to read this post on emergiblog. Reading about a nurse doing her job, working to the maximum of her license, a doctoral candidate, a patient educator and compassionate advocate in the face of death could lose her license.
For. doing. her. job.
Yes, that's right folks, doing her job. Talking to a patient at death's door who had NO FREAKING IDEA of what exactly she got herself into when she signed the consent form for transplant. A patient who clearly stated, "I don't want to do that."
And for her work, this nurse is not only being punished by management, she may lose her job, her livelihood, her home.
It is disgusting.
Stay tuned....
